E                     B
 The postman delivered
                         Bb A
 A "past due" bill notice
                 E                  B
 The alarm clock rang two hours late
E                                 B
 The garbage man left all the trash
                A
 On the sidewalk
                  E                 B
 And the hinges fell off of the gate
A                      G#m
 And this morning at breakfast
A                    G#m
 I spilled all the coffee
        E          B            C#m  B
 And I opened the door on my knee
        A
 Oh the last thing I needed
     E                        C#M
 The first thing this morning
       B                      E
Was to have you walk out on me

E                              B
 Last night you came home late
                                Bb
 And I knew you'd been drinking
         A          E               B
 By that old mellow look on your face
E                            B
 I thought, "It don't matter
                                 B Bb A
 'Cause it's the holiday season"
                     E              B
 And you fill such a big empty space
       A           G#m
 And I laid down beside you
       A           G#m
 And I wanted your lovin'
         E               B               C#m B
 Because your love makes my life complete
         A
 But the last thing I needed
     E                C#m
 The first thing this morning
        B                       E
 Was to have you walk out on me
       A           F#m    A
 So excuse me for lookin'
         F#m             E  E F#m G#m
 Like my world just ended
      A            F#m     A
 And excuse me for lookin'
              F#m               E  E F#m G#m
 Like I just lost my best friend
      A            F#m
 And excuse me for livin'
           A
 And being forgiving
             F#m                     E  E F#m G#m
 So just go on if you want to be free
[Chorus]
        A
 But the last thing I needed
     E                C#m
 The first thing this morning
        B                       E
 Was to have you walk out on me
        A
 But the last thing I needed
     E                C#m
 The first thing this morning
        B                       E
 Was to have you walk out on me
